lyrics

Life is good, life is one
I was born in the morn with the rising sun
Oh diddle-eye-diddle-eye-diddle-eye day
I was born in the morn with the rising sun

Life is good, life is grand
Grew up on a farm where the soil was sand
Oh diddle-eye-diddle-eye-diddle-eye day
Grew up on a farm where the soil was sand

Life is good, up and down
Rode to school on a mule through the middle of town
Oh diddle-eye-diddle-eye-diddle-eye day
Rode to school on a mule through the middle of town

At the turn of the day life is yours to play
You can diddle you can daddle you can do your thing
You can sing your song you can dance your way
You can give what you have to bring

Life is good, from up above
Got married to a fairy was a winged love
Oh diddle-eye-diddle-eye-diddle-eye day
Got married to a fairy was a winged love

Life is good, but sometimes tragic
Our kids were full of mischief and they knew fairy magic
Oh diddle-eye-diddle-eye-diddle-eye day
Our kids were full of mischief and they knew fairy magic

At the turn of the day life is yours to play
You can diddle you can daddle you can do your thing
You can sing your song you can dance your way
You can give what you have to bring

Life is good, life is thrilling
Bought a house from a mouse for a copper shilling
Oh diddle-eye-diddle-eye-diddle-eye day
Bought a house from a mouse for a copper shilling

Life is good, and life does flow
Grew old in that house and our kids did grow
Oh diddle-eye-diddle-eye-diddle-eye day
Grew old in that house and our kids did grow

Life is good, and life is just
When I died people cried and I turned to dust
Oh diddle-eye-diddle-eye-diddle-eye day
When I died people cried and I turned to dust

At the turn of the day life is yours to play
You can diddle you can daddle you can do your thing
You can sing your song you can dance your way
You can give what you have to bring

Life is good, life is one
I was born in the morn with the rising sun
Oh diddle-eye-diddle-eye-diddle-eye day
I was born in the morn with the rising sun
